Oil money? Why would a blue write that? Strange to omit all the other sources of Sheik Mansours wealth. It almost sounds bitter or something.

Been going since ’89 so on the basis of that here’s my pick. All funded by good honest bank debt, TV rental income, bog roll wealth and JD Sports.

James, Richards, Dunne, Distin, Hinchcliffe, SWP, Lake, Berkovic, Kennedy, Kinkladze, Anelka

Good enough to beat the Rags one week and then get ripped apart at home to Charlton the next. Honourable mentions go to Bishop, Horlock, Hendry, Quinn, Uwe, Goater, Flitcroft, Barton and, of course, Nicky Weaver.

You're having a laugh, White & Swales tellys were so crap anyone in their right mind went to Radio Rentals. ;-)

Using either 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation, name your best City XI, not counting any players bought with 'oil money'?

Perhaps not the best ever eleven but none were bought with oil money, we used your currency in them days, plastic:

Schmeichel
Barnes
Law
Kidd
Cooke
Meredith
Hargreaves
Cole Andy
Kanchelskis
Davies
Giggs
Choose your manager from Busby, Hughes or Coppell.

I'm surprised at the lack of Dunne being named. And people are putting Zaba? He came after 2008 didn't he?
